matinal

 After breakfast, take the pills. That is the wrong order, the pills should be taken before breakfast. Let there be hope that it is of no great consequence, it was just a case of matinal memory dysfunction. Put on a second pot of coffee, that will be enough for another two cups. 

Now there is a fresh cup of coffee beside the computer, a reminder that things unhealthy can be enjoyable. Think of the two people in the park yesterday, both studying their shamanistic circle on the lawn. The first thought was that it was a memorial to some loss in the past, the death of a person or  the end of an era of some sort. But these two bright - eyed older people were believers in shamanism, they took the trouble to explain that this was a belief in all things natural. The circle had been drawn in white with flour, and was filled with offerings of flowers and nuts and sweets, all without packaging of any kind. It was pretty enough to catch the eye. Take a picture of the couple, and promise to send the picture on by email. The reason for the circle appears to have been a kind of prayer for peace.

Yesterdays walk was short, it started to rain and the weather turned colder.

At home again, the wife and the son are loudly discussing the advantages of some computer parts or other. Ignore the discussion, the problem being discussed affects only the son and the wife, there is no need to interfere.

This morning the sun is out and there is a hope that it will not rain.
